The project allows the student to carry out an independent piece of research.
The student will develop generic skills in time management; writing long documents; oral presentations and in independent working. The student will develop subject specific research skills depending on the project chosen. This could involve quantitative or qualitative data collection or systematic review methodology and data analyses.
Students choose the project topic. The content is dependent on the type of project undertaken e.g it could range from interviewing mothers of new babies about their feeding choices to a study of media coverage of breast feeding issues.

1st Attempt: Students are expected to produce a bound thesis of 8000-10000 words (90% mark). Students give an oral presentation on their project (10% mark). Resit: Resubmission of thesis of 8000-10000 words (100% mark).
Although the oral presentation is summative, it acts as a formative assessment for the thesis as members of the audience may pick up issues which the student has not thought of. Such issues can then be rectified before the thesis is submitted.
